On Thursday, March 21, the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Humboldt & District Gallery and the Prairie Central District for Sport, Culture and Recreation will host a powerful conversation and presentation hosted by Bahamian Canadian Khodi Dill. 

In this talk, Overcoming Division: Strengthening Race Relations in a Polarized World, anti-racism educator and spoken word artist Khodi Dill will explore the roots of taboo and polarization regarding race-related conversations in our society. He will share with listeners critical intersectional understandings about power, privilege, and disadvantage concerning oppressive systems, and will advocate for unity, community, and a shared vision of the future for all. Come and experience this engaging mixture of poetry and articulate discourse. 

This talk will begin at 7pm. Free and everyone welcome!
